I’ll get with our resident board EE when he gets back from Utah to see what the latest scoop on the project is.

Please define EE for those not as versed in construction lingo. Thanks

There's more than one on this board.

There's more than one on this board.

Ah true. But more than 1 tied to UL construction projects?

Oh....engineering expert. I get it now.

If it is a "design/build" contract it can get off the ground fairly quickly since it is a combined contract. I'm pretty sure that is how the Tigue contract was done.

I'm not sure if this new project includes a "Square" between the football stadium, baseball stadium, APC and IPF. One that would include a smaller version of the FDL fountain on campus and maybe even bricked to include a brick for every letterman, an "Athletic Walk of Honor".

I just read an article about Stuller expanding in Lafayette. As North America's largest fine jewelry manufacturer and located in Lafayette, I would suggest UL approach them with a commitment to fund the "Stuller Square" and add that to the overall project to complete the finished look of the athletic complex. Seems like a natural fit and not too expensive a project to fund.

The “Stuller Square” idea sounds interesting and appropriate

If you’ve ever been in their facility, they have a huge (square) common area right in the middle of their building that is used as a cafeteria and break area. With the tight security coming and going from their facility (due to the value of what’s inside) it limits the trips in and out by employees

Boy did they miss a "gold"en opportunity to fund and get naming rights for the tigue.
Stuller's THE DIAMOND @ TIGUE MOORE FIELD

Yep. They missed their chance.

So, now, Notre Dame has Touchdown Jesus. We will have Our Lady.

Re-brand the swamp to "The Grotto"...

Re-brand the swamp to "The Grotto"...

I thought that was the name of the tunnel?

I will repeat what I have stated a few times before. Matt Stuller has ZERO interest in sports. He helps the university and community in a myriad of other ways. If he comes on board with athletic fund raising, I will be shocked.
